Build A Bagel

By far the best bagel I have ever had outside of Jersey. Great staff, great prices, and did I mention great bagel. I wish they were open later in the day but I will take what I can get. Please please please go check this place out! You really don’t know what you’re missing. Excellent job Build a Bagel, please don’t leave me stranded here with grocery store bagels… I will be forced to move back to NJ. Thank you for what you do

Great prices, great selection and now they even deliver! Love the fluffy bagels and the whipped cream cheese — the everything bagels are delicious.

Expect a giant breakfast sandwich and you won’t be disappointed! Fresh and yummy. I bring friends here when they visit from out of town. They have a sign up that they’re now delivering, and I can’t wait to try!

Saint Albans has been in need of a decent bagel in town; and I’m not saying in need of a decent bagel place but a decent bagel. The only place in town to get a decent bagel had been one of the grocery stores.
The staff/​owners have over 30 years of combined restaurant experience and it shows in the quality and most definitely quantity.
I recommend bringing a friend if you do go and order the breakfast sandwich, it’s big enough for two. I normally order «light on the egg».
RECOMMENDATIONS — although my favorite sandwich is a bacon, tomato, and cheese on an everything bagel, to be honest with you the ingredients are perfectly cooked but the bagel is the BEST ingredient in the sandwich!
PROS — Great price, excellent quality, and definitely great quantity.
CONS — not open at 3:30 when I have early mornings. Not much of a con but I always leave a con.
Overall I DO recommend trying out this establishment.

Stopped by on Saturday for the first time and it won’t be the last! The sandwiches are soooo tasty and huge. I can’t wait to go back and try something else.

Build a Bagel is currently the only fresh bagel offering in the Saint Albans City area, and it’s pretty new. I am impressed at the caliber of the offerings and the service. I went with my partner, and we got different meals for brunch. It was on a Tuesday around noon, and pretty empty. I am very glad we decided to try something new. I got a the works breakfast sandwich on a pesto bagel. It was about $ 6 and I have to say, I’m a big eater and this was a very shareable portion. Scrambled eggs with red onions, green peppers and your choice of cheese and ham and bacon. The filling was practically falling out of the bagel. But not in an overly messy way. My SO got a pesto bagel with Mexican cream cheese. The reason I couldn’t rate this with 5 stars is because he felt there wasn’t enough cream cheese or enough spice to it. He still enjoyed it, however. He also got a 16oz cup of home fries and said that he would come back just for those, they were so good and obviously homemade. We ate in house. They have a spacious and airy dining area, and I imagine even if the place was full it would still be comfortable and not stuffy. Great place, good value, would definitely go back

Great handmade bagels. Need maybe one more person on their staff during busy hours. But always worth the wait!

Wow, this place is great, i was pleasantly surprised when i walked in, very warm atmosphere. The breakfast bagel, wow! It was absolutely delicious egg, cheese, onion, green pepper. Soft and warm and perfect. Ill be back!

I’m pretty impressed! Happy to have a good bagel place in town, I got a everything bagel with pork, bacon and cheddar cheese. This was the special for the day and it was hands down one of the best bagel sandwiches I’ve had, the bagel was fresh and everything had a lot of flavor. It was the perfect start/​end to my work night! I will be back for sure.

Pretty darn good. I thought at first that it’d be just another breakfast bagel place. I ordered a plain toasted with egg white and bacon. When I received the sandwich, it was piping hot & some oil dripped out (heads up!) but the egg whites are NOT from powder! I spoke with the employees and they said everything is made from scratch & I believe it.
